What Marketing Tips Help Schools Sell More Flowers?

A well-run flower fundraiser can help a school in many ways. Being able to raise money for needs that may not be covered by traditional funding supports students and gives them opportunities they may otherwise not have access to. Having a good marketing strategy can make a significant impact on the sales that you and your kids can raise.

Tips To Boost Your School’s Fundraiser Sales
‍

We believe that creativity and student involvement play a crucial role in the success of your school's next flower sale. With the right messaging, you can turn your next flower fundraiser into something your entire school will be excited about. We have put together a guide that can help you think of different ways to raise more money and find new customers during your school's next fundraiser.

Involve Your Students
‍

The first step is to involve your kids. Their participation is crucial and they are the main way you will make sales. Their involvement also makes the entire experience more meaningful. Allowing kids to be responsible for a fundraiser and selling flowers will allow them to be invested in the outcome and can be a great learning tool. Teaching them about responsibility and teamwork can prepare them for future real-world experiences. It can also make them see the difference they can make within their community. Additionally, the families and people within your area are more likely to participate in your flower fundraiser when they see kids actively engaged and excited.

Social Media And School Marketing Ideas To Get The Word Out
‍

Letting everyone know that you are having a flower fundraiser will naturally give you more customers. Using all of your schools' platforms to get the word out can help generate buzz. Creating posters and flyers is a great way to let people in your area and local businesses know about your fundraising event. Getting people to create different posters with flowers all over can be a fun way to encourage student involvement and bring excitement to your sale. In addition to posters, sending email newsletters to parents can allow you to explain why you are fundraising with flowers and help get their support. Sending them updates throughout your sale may help them encourage their kids to maximize participation. Utilizing your school's social media accounts to post about the flowers you are selling can allow word to reach an audience beyond your immediate area. Encouraging parents and teachers to share the posts with friends and family members is a great way to bring in new customers.

Involve Your Community
‍

Involving your community can be an effective way to make a big impact on your fundraiser's floral sales. Reach out to local businesses within your area and ask if they would be willing to hang flyers or even sponsor part of your fundraiser. They may even offer small prizes that you can use to incentivize kids to have maximum participation. Businesses within your area are often happy to support a good cause, especially when it involves schools.

Incentivize Flower Sales
‍

Another way to encourage kids to get involved in your fundraising efforts is to incentivise sales or add a competitive twist. Friendly competition can go a long way in boosting sales. Incentives help create excitement and can motivate kids to participate in spreading the word about your fundraiser. There are a few different ways you can motivate kids to get involved to sell more flowers and make more sales. Offering prizes like a pizza party or homework passes can be fun ways to motivate kids to give their maximum participation. You can offer these incentives for top-selling individuals or classrooms that have sold the most flowers. Creating a friendly competition amongst each grade can be a great way to involve everybody. Incentivizing them with a bigger prize, such as the winning class getting a zoo trip or a field day can encourage each grade to work together. There are so many different ways to encourage people to get involved. Understanding what would encourage them the most will help you get maximum participation.

Use Floral Visual Aids To Track Sales
‍

Visual aids can help everyone see how many flowers were sold and the impact they are making. This can help keep motivation high. Whether you want to track progress for your school as a whole, by classroom, or by each student, there are so many different ways you can visually show impact. When you first hand out your fundraiser supplies, you can also provide them with a floral themed coloring sheet they can fill in to track their own progress. In each classroom you can have a floral themed leaderboard chart or have a colorful thermometer to fill in each morning. To show the overall impact everyone is making together, you can have a wall in a common area dedicated to show progress. Your common area can have large posters of different flowers and you can add petals when certain goals or milestones are met. There are many different floral themed tracking ideas that you can implement to help encourage full participation.
